All-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator

Opt Express. 2010 Feb 15;18(4):3858-63. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.003858.

Abstract

We present the first system penalty measurements for all-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator. We achieve wavelength conversion over a range of 27.7 nm in the C-band at 2.5 Gb/s by exploiting four wave mixing in a CMOS compatible, high index glass ring resonator at approximately 22 dBm average pump power, obtaining < 0.3 dB system penalty.
